Jim Crow was not a real person. "He" originated from a song that was written by "Daddy" Rice about an African American man in the southern United States. The period of time that he was strongly thought of was from about the 1880s to the 1960s. However, he was first introduced in 1832.

Life under the "Jim Crow" laws was grim. African Americans had to sit in "Jim Crow" sections of train cars, buses, restaurants, hotels, restrooms, and church pews. Hospitals, cemeteries, swimming pools, and prisons were segregated as well. Before the Brown v.s. Board of Education trial in 1954, they had to go to different schools too. The public facilities for African American people were usually not as well kept and equipped as those for white people. __Sources__- http://www.nps.gov/archive/malu/documents/jim_crow_laws.htm __Life Under The Jim Crow Laws__ by Chales George //-Nora B.//

The Jim Crow laws occured in many statesin the south. From Delaware to California and from North Dakota to Texas, many states and cities as well imposed consequences, in the form of legal punisments, if you consorted yourself with another race. The main laws forbade intermarriage and to keep the blacks and whites seperated in the work enviroment.

life under of Jim Crow African Americans were classified as second class citizens. They were deprived of many things .For example blacks attended a different school then whites, a black man could never approach a white woman, jobs were limited to the blacks .Also blacks got paid less then the whites and had to work longer hours then the whites.

White people treated African Americans horribly, such as beatings. In the south, violence was theone of the answers to white peoples problems with black people. Sometimes the fights were so bad, the ending result for black people was death. Black people were supposed to be sperate but equal even though the whites didnt want that, they did not want to be considered equal to the blacks. Therefore that did not work they were treated the same maybe even worse then they have been before this.
